The original Gravity Falls pitches and pilot just dropped!!

(Link for those who want it)

For those who don't wanna look through all of it, here are some highlights I found!

Interesting changes from the pitch (What Alex Hirsch showed Disney to make them greenlight the show):

Stan’s secret was that he’s secretly protecting the townsfolk from weirdness, nothing to do with Ford. No mention of Ford in the pitch at all. Stan also wanted Dipper and Mabel to be his successors in this version.

Mabel used to be the unhygienic one instead of Dipper.

Wendy was brunette and didn’t work as the Mystery Shack cashier, instead selling veggie juice out of her van.

As such, Soos (Jesús in this version) worked the register in addition to his handyman job in this version. He was a bit less of a hard worker here, watching telenovelas on the job sometimes, but still loves his job and is extremely loyal to Stan.

Robbie was almost exactly the same, parents’ backstory and all, but there’s an interesting note that he occasionally clashed with Gideon in this version (which we never got in the final show)

Speaking of which, Gideon’s last name in this version was Garrymore instead of Gleeful.

Gideon used to personally harass and prank Stan, going out of his way to vandalize Stan’s stuff himself.

Manly Dan was always planned to be Wendy’s dad. In this version, he hates the idea that his hipster daughter prefers conserving the environment instead of chopping down forests

(For those who wanted more Wendy episodes, I’m surprised Hirsch didn’t use this as a conflict for one of them- it makes her interesting without costing any of her “coolness”)

Sheriff Blubs was originally Sheriff “Blumps”. Durland has the same name likely because Hirsch said he’s named after a real guy.

With no Ford and no Journal mentioned, episodes were originally very different-

“The President’s Cabinet/Irrational Treasure.” Instead of via the journal, Dipper and Mabel find a record of Quentin Trembley in a box buried in the yard. No Pacifica mentioned here.

“Secret Dungeon” Dipper becomes obsessed with a recalled arcade cabinet. Mabel must try and save him by finding the original high scorer.

“Thtupid Thursday” One of the many ‘Shining Twins’ episode concepts Hirsch wanted to do. Dipper and Mabel learn ‘twin telepathy’ from some creepy twins, and soon regret it.

“Periodic Mabel” Mabel invents her own element for the science fair and Dipper is jealous.

“Only the Clonely/Boyz Crazy” The exact same episode just without Candy and Grenda. Sev’ral Timez is called “ReelBoyzzz” in this version.

“Big Dipper” With surprisingly no tie to Little Dipper, Dipper asks a fortune teller to make him older so he can win Wendy over. But she makes him 22, so he and Mabel have to undo the spell.

“Sweater off Dead” Mabel buys an antique sweater and is possessed by the soul of the granny who last wore it. Stan is terrified by the spirit because she reminds him of his ex-wife Marilyn (Deep Edalyn Clawthorne lore???) so Dipper must “Swexorcize” his sister and save her.

“Teed Off/The Golf War” With no Pacifica, this was originally a Dipper vs Gideon episode- No Lilliputtians, either. Instead, the 13th hole is cursed and traps the cast in a time loop.

Now, changes from the Production Pitch (I’m guessing for when the show was already greenlit and this was a way to brief crew members on what the show would 100% be about)

Stan’s secret (likely the portal) and the journal are now set in stone.

Emphasis on continuity and character development. Nothing gets “reset” by next episode. All plot developments are permanent.

All character names and designs are locked in. Pacifica has now been added, as well as Waddles, Gompers, Lazy Susan, Candy and Grenda, and McGucket (No mention or hint at his past here)

Interesting to note is that there is still zero outright mention of Ford and Bill in this version, even though multiple episodes were seemingly in production at this point.

Manly Dan’s conflict with Wendy from the original pitch is still here. Making it even more mindblowing that we never got it in the show

Blubs and Durland are described as a little more playful instead of mean like in the original pitch.

All episode examples made it into the show with no changes this time. They are Tourist Trapped, Legend of the Gobblewonker, Fight Fighters, Boyz Crazy, and The Land Before Swine.

The newly appointed Principal Bump finds himself with the daunting task of sorting through Eda Clawthorne's monstrous permanent record to separate the genuine offenses from former Principal Faust's overblown perception of offenses.

Faust's retirement had taken too long to wait for.

It felt like the moment Faust stepped off of school grounds, Bump was racing for his new office. He locked the door, drew the blinds, and made sure all secret passages were blocked. Call him skittish, but Faust loved to sneak up on him.

When he was sure it was safe, Bump made a circle. In a moment, several drawers and folders appeared.

All of these were the permanent records of all the students of the Hexside.

One loomed larger than the rest.

Bump sighed as he pulled out a journal. Ever since he had become vice principal, he had kept a record of every "offense" Faust had against students. Squeaky shoes, chewing too loudly, being late for being early... He had kept careful record.

And now he had to go through everyone's records.

It would be best to start with the largest.

"Okay, Edalyn," Bump pulled up the office chair. He grabbed the first folder marked with Eda Clawthorne's name. "Let's get started."

The Owl House reactions- Something Ventured, Someone Framed

- Um, maybe... the actual human? I mean, it’s a long shot, but... - Aww... Eda taped it to her own wanted poster! She’s so proud of her little protege! - He is just so chilled. There’s no point in insulting Gus, he just shrugs and rolls on. - He’s lying, isn’t he? - I’ll say... Yes, she always has emergency confetti. - Yep, that’d do it. - I also have nightmares about school. So I totally feel your pain. - Basically, if you’re not gonna sit properly, you can at least take your shoes off my desk. - Oh boy, her permanent record. Damn. Not as thick as my brother’s criminal one, but still. - ‘Edalyn Clawthorne.’ full name revealed! - “Huh. I’d thought there’d be more.” She looks disappointed. ‘I’m sure I was much worse than that.’ - Ugh, Amity’s siblings. The worse. - He better pay attention. - “There’s the whiny rebel teen I remember.” Ah, memories. Horrible, traumatic memories... - It remembers her! “Mother, noooo!!!” - A plunger is never a good thing to see... - Wild... serebii...

She caught a Celebi! lol

- SHE’S IN! - Yeah, sometimes it’s best to pretend not to hear a thing. - Eda had red hair! - Tried to get payback for her sister. - Incident #9677 was just cruel. - Even Bump was getting tired of filling out reports. - Yeah, you look after yourself, man.

TL;DR: Eda was a bad girl; no-one wants to be at school, not even the teachers; you cannot insult Gus, for he is immune.
